Thanksgiving Menu Bonanza
I’m so excited for the holidays to be here, a time where we all gather together and give thanks for all of the blessings in our lives.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season planned, too!
I’ve compiled a list of recipe ideas to help you plan your Thanksgiving meal below. Of course we don’t have all of this in one sitting but I wanted to give you plenty to choose from! Click on each recipe to view the complete tutorial of how to make it. Recipes which are in the Southern Plate Classic Comfort Food That Makes Everyone Feel Like Family cookbook are noted in the side along with page number. Recipes which are exclusive to the cookbook (not on SouthernPlate.com) are also noted beside the recipe.

Oh yeah, Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂 I am so glad you are part of my life. Thank you for all that you do to make our lives easier and sweeter.
Christy, really, really enjoy your website and your recipes. This morning I made your Jordan rolls and they are so good and easy. This recipe was one I had about 3 years ago and had lost. I enjoyed making this recipe and so far the folks that I gave a pan of rolls to have enjoyed them too. Also, I have forwarded your site to about 7 or 8 people tonight. Thanks so much.Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
